one was over the issue of freedom of movement. the party's extend freedom of movement for workers to and from the european union. that is something which some people felt might not play very well with voters who are concerned about immigration. so as far as i'm aware, what they have decided to do it so that if the uk stays within the european union, then continued freedom of movement would be met with new, stronger regulation of the employment market so that people would not be undercut by migrant labour. it is also an argument over another commitment from the party conference for a net zero carbon emissions by 2030. one of the big unions, the gmb, not happy with that, they did not think it would be realistic. it has been a bit of a fudge on that, it does not become a fixed deadline, and talk about eliminating the majority of carbon emissions by 2030. new policy is emerging as well, help for older women worried about an increase in the state pension age, and i am also told there will be a new retail offer to give people notjust free prescript

merkel and germany to put principle before economic interest when it comes to freedom and democracy. chinese communist party has developed into an incredibly powerful empire they have perfected the dictatorship more than the soviets they used an opium against their own people as in hong kong against those who go to resist opium against foreign countries against their economies and politics 1st they make them dependent make the middle dictate and then they can no longer resist this this alliance of interests with china so i. don't hear the people in hong kong have clearly already taken the message of the. heart you know how important it is to get involved and fight for freedom. certainly powerful stuff that brings us to the end of this edition but our coverage of the anniversary events will continue all this week so do be sure to turn tune in again next time until then all the best from berlin in emotion and remember to take care and by. more and more young people are striking to save the planet and i mean really people who would like to keep living on this planet and if we don't save the planet now it'll be

in september, your party voted to extend freedom of movement.t backers, including the leader of the unite union len mccluskey, think that isn't manageable. what do you think? well, the conference motion was passed. it doesn't necessarily form part of the manifesto, but i do think we have to recognise there are many people in britain who have partners who are from europe or the other way around and have children, and therefore the children of both. we cannot stop them moving about. your manifesto in 2017 said that you would end freedom of movement. it sounds like your manifesto in 2019 will say something very different. look, we are meeting this weekend to decide the contents of our manifesto and that will come to a decision. the 2017 manifesto also said, "labour accepts the referendum result". now you are offering people another referendum. doesn't your change of heart on brexit undermine people's trust? i think what we've done is a sensible approach. i recognise why people voted remain and why people voted leave. but don't you think there will

there was a bit of a question about what happens in terms of freedom of movement because at the partymembers had said that they wanted to extend freedom of movement. jeremy corbyn has addressed that issue today. we understand that in their ma nifesto today. we understand that in their manifesto there is not going to be an explicit attempt to extend freedom of movement but he was talking about how from his perspective what he thinks those members were talking about is family reunion. those immigrants who had come to the uk and the right they have to bring their family over later on. he was saying they are being agreement with the principle of that but it obviously needs to be looked at in some detail. explaining that element of it. we understand that element of it. we understand that in the labour party manifesto there is going to be some policy in their around regulating employment of the people don't feel as though they have —— they are being undercut by foreign workers. he was asked whether freedom of movement would end? he wouldn't be pinned on the detail. he did say they would be

but you wouldn't call it democratization and then to have more freedom than the party exercises power the average chinese person knows what would get them in trouble or keep them out of trouble. so given that in my view it could get a lot worse if you don't have a state like north korea operating so what is that your view of distinction as the totalitarian government even though most databases characterize that quick. >> so my experience authoritarian governments are limited by their capacity to exert total control. so mussolini's fascism you really couldn't have a totalitarian state it wasn't strong enough to do that but stalin and hitler on the other hand had systems of power so enormous they could have that society so the first thing i would raise is a breathing society with the very speed of which it is spread by a central government into a reaction of such ferocity that they are killing them and locking them up and say they were sacrificed to harvest oregon but even if you don't believe that version it's very clear they are sending in an enormous signal of threat even out with a

expression freedom of the press and freedom of assembly the 4th of but this was all compromised by a constitution that asserted the supremacy of the s.p.d. communist partyand that took precedence over freedom of expression for example and justified the persecution of people with dissenting views of vice no mind and effect of. those limitations were exposed on june 17th 1953 when an estimated 1000000 people took to the streets of east berlin and other cities in the 1st ever mass protests against the regime. the demonstrators call for more freedom and better living conditions. at 1st the government was unsure of how to respond. to understeer than to new 117th 1953 was triggered by an increase in production quotas which in practice meant more work for the same wages rise above and yet on the new. one doesn't it. that started a place and then plot slips and suddenly the issue was no longer just about production quotas and labor standards but free elections a significant political demand in that sense you could say that june 17th 1953 was the 1st political and democratic uprising in the entire eastern bloc fully true and democratic should have been in consta

labour party have their manifesto which you will get clear details on later on this week, but we understand it was hammered out yesterday. there is a question around what happens in terms of freedomy conference, labour members said they wanted to extend freedom of movement. jeremy corbyn has addressed that issue we today. understand that in the manifesto there will not be an explicit temp two extend freedom of movement. he was talking about how what he thinks those members were talking about we re those members were talking about were family reunions. so those immigrants who would come to the uk and the right to be able to bring theirfamily over data and the right to be able to bring their family over data run. and the right to be able to bring theirfamily over data run. he and the right to be able to bring their family over data run. he says he is in agreement with that in principle. explaining that element of it. we understand in the labour party manifesto there will be some policy around there. jeremy corbyn was asked about whether or not free movement would end if there was a labour government and he wouldn't be pinned down on the detail, but he was saying that there would be

freedom of movement is directly tied to labour party's stands on brexit. ot pick and choose from the four freedoms that are fundamental to the single market. if you want elements of the single market, you simply will not be able to get them from brussels or win them without a commitment to freedom of movement. there is also a fundamental problem here when it discusses cutting, undercutting workers' wages, it's important to challenge that and so that net, across the whole, certain sectors have been affected by immigration but overall net immigrants haven't undercut workers deposit salaries. that is important to bear in mind —— workers' salaries, and that is important to bearin salaries, and that is important to bear in mind in this discussion. but the nature of brexit in so much as it is about having a domestic policy that might suit everyone hours. let's move on to the ft. pacts make the front pages. joe swinson has given an interview to the financial times ruling out helping outjeremy corbyn into number ten ——jo swinson. she has a very difficult path over

it's not a victory of party, it's a celebration of freedom. she told me that we need to think about this different now because this time.victory party, we don't have freedom to celebrate. the lady in front of me has a question now. >> it has so much to do with my question. after watching the last two weeks of the house, seeing them continue to dig and, realizing it goes from the house to the senate to attorney general to secretary of state to president and supreme court. between that and gerrymandering, i for the first time feel extraordinarily nervous about where our country is going to get our our vote going? how do you assure the american people that we need to get off our couches and get involved in these campaigns and we need to vote? >> i was raised with my parents, i think it's not actions of the bad people but the inaction of the good people. this line was my favorite. this woman taught me this hope that they won't have the last word though we all need to speak up in this hatred so look at modern public and parties, the values of their

party. so how dare secretary poll pave oh try to draw a wedge between the freedom-loving chinese people of and' communist party. lou: it was a carefully considered comment and without question with foreknowledge of what the reaction of the chinese would be. this is not looking good. the chinese sending out signals for whoever's consumption that they are not pleased with the thought or comfortable with the thought that they would buy $40 billion to $50 billion in chinese products as they indicated they would. this seems to be an impediment to phase one or any deal at all. it seems to be the chinese reneging on a deal that has not been put to paper yet. >> the chinese said he expected the purchases of agricultural products to begin immediately in all capital letters in his tweet. the chinese have had to be dragged kicking and screaming into these talks. then they agree to 150 pages, reneged on much of that. now what steve mnuchin and peter navarro said. one of the seven chapters of the agreement has been more or less agreed to. that's what the president meant today when he said 60% of the deal i

freedom of movement, is what it said. in fact, the shadow home secretary, your close colleague diane abbott, has said this afternoon, the labour partyment? for those that have legitimate settled status in the uk. that is family reunion, that was the point she was making. so to be clear, you are only committed at this point to having more freedom of movement for people who have settled status here because that eu citizens, to be clear, eu citizens that have applied to be able to stay? no, eu citizens depends on the ultimate outcome of the eu negotiations. we will obviously negotiate within three months of taking office, and leave arrangement with the eu which would be about marking access, customs union and protection of rights. and if we remain in the european union following a referendum, then obviously the eu relationship applies. but i do think we have to recognise there are many people in britain who have partners who are from europe, or the other way around and have children, therefore the children of both. we cannot stop them moving about, it would not be right to stop the family reunion. indeed, i proposed a motion to exactly

the labour party conference passed a resolution saying it would want to maintain and expand freedom ofther that pledge will make its way into the manifesto are what exact language will be used around that question. 0n brexit, we know the labour party position as they will seek to renegotiate a new deal with the eu before putting out deal with the eu before putting out deal to the electorate with a referendum and an option to remain for that there is pressure for the leadership to adopt a more overtly remain position, saying they would campaignfor remain remain position, saying they would campaign for remain in that referendum. finally, there should be some discussion around the question around the way in which pensions had been affected for women born in the 19505, who had the age at which they would receive their pension change, the so—called waspi women. interesting to see those details. the green agenda is at the forefront of the campaign for all of the parties. had had more from the conservatives and liberal democrats today. -- we have heard. the climate agenda is at the forefront

what about a third party going up, the freedom caucus and then the g.o.p. and then the democrats. what's wrong with that? >> well, i guess i could put on my political science hat that third parties in the yies don't work well because of our electoral system. look, what we're actually seeing is what happens often when you get a third party and what we should recognize is trump and the phenomenon of trump goes back to figures like ross perot. to the kind of beginnings of the populace movement in the u.s. that goes back several decades. you could say that it's a political discontent for what could be a configuration. we're seeing a realignment. and that's the following, the wosrking glass that once voted democratic, that's who the democratic party have representing them. and that's the same in came and and the working class. at the same time those conservative parties were not traditionally parties of the working class, they were the parties of the elite. of business owners of the aristocracy. there's a lot of, kind like you say, he roux figuring. take a count at the new configuration
